The Future of Higher Education: What is the IT Professional’s Role?

Web 2.0 represents a shift in how people use the Internet to communicate, collaborate, and access information. It emphasizes user-generated content and sharing data from multiple sources. Key aspects include reusable services and data accessible from any connected device, continuous updates, rich user interfaces, and architectures that encourage participation and contribution. While Web 2.0 provides more data access, teachers and students must organize that data into meaningful presentations. It also improves skills like skimming, in-depth reading, and higher-order thinking, while allowing for increased creativity and participation through various online services.

Perceived Security

afahamid

This document summarizes a research study that examined how perceived security, privacy, and trust impact social media use and relationship development among university students in Malaysia. The study investigated how these factors influence students' willingness to share information and form new relationships on social networking sites. It also looked at how relationship development relates to student enrollment and employee recruitment at Malaysian higher education institutions. The findings showed that privacy and security concerns have a slight impact on information sharing for social media users, while higher perceived security, trust in social media platforms and other users positively correlates with relationship development, which in turn positively correlates with student enrollment and recruitment.

Information Literacy 2.0

Mihaela Banek Zorica

Presentation given at the online conference in June 2009 (yourschoollibrary.org) Abstract: In the last decade the way knowledge is organized and made available has been radically altered. Users are witnessing the emergence of the new services, tools and technologies known as Web 2.0 environment. The significant attributes and features of these new tools relate to knowledge creation, management, sharing and dissemination causing the appearance of anomalies in the information literacy paradigm. Fact is that many of the aspects of current information literacy practices originate from a print-based culture which is incongruent with the transient and hybrid nature of digital environments. The authors examine the grounds for the possible re-conceptualizations in the field of information literacy and identify the current developments in the information universe.
